Good Burger
The Nickelodeon sketch that became a movie: two fast-food workers square off against an evil corporate chain, armed with dimwitted charm and a catchphrase that burned itself into the 90s brain forever. "Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger — can I take your order?"
The "Good Burger" sketch from Nickelodeon's All That became a full movie released July 25, 1997 by Paramount Pictures, produced by Nickelodeon Movies and directed by Brian Robbins. Kel Mitchell reprised Ed, the dimwitted cashier from the sketch; Kenan Thompson played Dexter Reed, a high schooler forced to take a summer job at Good Burger to pay off damages from a car accident. The plot was thin and gleefully silly: the tiny Good Burger stand competes against an evil corporate rival, Mondo Burger. The catchphrase became scripture: "Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger — can I take your order?"
Made on an $8.5 million budget, the film grossed $23.7 million worldwide and opened at number five with $7.1 million. Critics were unmerciful — 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs down. But the kids who loved Kenan and Kel didn't care. The movie was silly, quotable, and theirs. A 26-year gap followed before Good Burger 2 premiered November 22, 2023 on Paramount+, with both stars returning to their roles.
